If you’ve sustained injuries in a serious car accident, you may feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn. In addition to the medical appointments and pain from your injuries, you believe you’re entitled to compensation for the damage done—but how much and from who? Figuring it out on your own can be frustrating and not always as productive as you’d like. Below are four reasons to hire an experienced attorney if you’ve been in an accident.

  1. Someone to look out for your best interests. When you hire a car accident attorney to represent you, your rights and needs are their sole focus. As the victim of an accident, you’re most likely dealing with an insurance company that wants to hold on to their profits as long as possible, and/or a negligent driver whose biggest concern is shifting the blame away from themselves.
  2. Ensure you understand your rights and options. Which avenue should you pursue to receive the damages you’re entitled to? Insurance settlement? Personal injury lawsuit? Your attorney will get all the case details and help you assess your options. The attorney will also be able to walk you through the process, deadlines, and likely time frame of your case and give you all the information you need to make the best decision.
  3. Determine the correct amount of compensation you will need. You’re probably well aware of the medical bills pouring in right now, but what about the cost of care you’ll need in the future? There may be many additional expenses down the road, such as physical therapy, medical equipment, and additional surgical procedures. You are also entitled to compensation for lost wages and loss of future income if your injuries prevent you from continuing the same career path. In California, accident victims can also seek damages for “pain and suffering”—non-economic damages that can be particularly challenging to calculate.
  4. To build the strongest case possible if you’re going to court. Your attorney will investigate the accident independently and know the best experts to assemble to support your case. They also know the local court system and the deadlines and procedures for filing the necessary paperwork for your case.

There’s no cost to talk to an attorney and your damages may be significantly lower if you attempt to go it alone. We have the experience you need after a serious accident.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
